Even the word “accident” is part of that downplaying.

I prefer this Ubuntu

Also consider getting some portfolios of photographers you like. Really worth it for ideas and getting a sense of what makes a photo good or not.

Well yeah that’s what DEI does on the whole. It gets the workplace hiring people based on their skills. You’re very close to getting it.

The article writer is an idiot and you may be too. It says nothing about DEI expertise.

This is equivalent to dunking on scientists when a flat earther claims to be a “science expert”.

Brilliant take. What’s it like being a reactionary with leftist aesthetics? Does Putin pay you for this comrade or is it all of your own volition?

We believe anti-fascists exist and are extremely important. You just seem to be an idiot.

I think the largest challenge though is maintaining the distribution and managing the associated upfront costs.

Existing large content producers could likely afford to handle this but new producers could struggle paying to seed their content.

Though I do think overall this is more achievable than people give it credit for:

• YT videos don’t need huge bandwidth for a sustained period; only for short bursts. Most views come in within a week.
• Content is probably localized to specific countries. Less need to replicate across the globe.
• Let the source prefer to seed the highest quality and other peers downsample and replicate as needed.
• Doesn’t need YT scale. Tons of YT “content” is spammers leeching essentially free hosting from YT. No one needs to seed their videos if they don’t want to.
• 1080p is still fine for YT videos. h265 is very efficient (though downsampling 265 isn’t great). Don’t need 4k for most videos.

Just adding to the chorus that while it’s cool and conveniently sized the screen just falls apart.

lol sure loser whatever

The fuck is with these stupid bots that try to turn every conversation into “muh immigration”

Yeah. Society is responsible for the outcomes of its children. It shouldn’t personally hurt your feelings but it should motivate your actions.

Same. For me it’s a texture and appearance thing. I just don’t like the look of cooked onions.

But the flavor of onions is great to me so if they’re raw red or sweet onions or cooked into something but undetectable I love emm.

I feel this way about a lot of food textures and what does/doesn’t go together.

Could be the same for your kids.

Welcome! And yeah versatility is great. FWIW 50-55mm is my favorite focal length and I personally shoot either that or crop to it 90% of the time. But the longer lengths give you that nice compression of the background and more opportunity for bokeh.

Really interesting perspective! It’s a great choice of location and subjects. You clearly have an eye for what’s pretty out there in the world.

As for a critique that could improve your future photography:

It’s a bit blurry. Since you had a relatively still scene I’d say next time take the time to drop your f-stop to maybe 4.0 and raise your shutter speed the same number of major f-stops to compensate (ie. 8.0 -> 5.6 -> 4.0 goes 1/125 -> 1/250 -> 1/500). This will keep your exposure about the same as 9.0 and 1/125 while increasing the separation between your focus and the background. It will also compensate for any camera shake while taking the shot. 1/500 or higher is particularly good for this.

If the intent was to show the divide between the water and the town it also couldn’t hurt to rotate a bit to the right. There’s a good deal of busy background in the left side of the photo and not only a bit of the town.

If the intent is to capture the black boat then it would make sense to get a little closer. A longer focal length like 85mm would also be great here.

I agree. So if people are hearing it and demonstrating it with decibel readers then there’s probably little to no sound dampening.

It could be but also datacenters are ridiculously loud and the sound is very high pitched. Would drive anyone nuts if they could hear it.

I just wanted to say it’s great that you took this to heart and started thinking about it. Hope you have a wonderful week!

I cannot read. Even better.
